If I was playing a game FTF I would love some background music as well as bantering conversation, but in the automated version it is a bit distracting as the pace and concentration on the smaller scale of the screen are enough of a challenge for me.

I usually listen to other music while I'm playing, but that's because my wife has heard the Memoir '44 Online music a lot and wants some variety. It woks well to have something like the Band of Brothers soundtrack playing...
